CAREER FIELD EDUCATION AND TRAINING PLAN (CFETP)

PART I. 1. Preface. In accordance with (IAW) Air Force Policy Directive (AFPD) 10-35, Battlefield Airmen, 13DX is a Battlefield Airmen career field that conducts unique surface operations integral to the application of air, space and cyber power. This CFETP is a comprehensive education and training document that identifies life-cycle qualification, education and training requirements, training support resources, and minimum core task requirements for this specialty. The CFETP will provide personnel a clear career path to success and will instill rigor in all aspects of career field training.

2. The CFETP consists of two parts. Officers, supervisors, commanders and trainers use both parts to plan, manage, and control training within the career field.

2.1. Part I provides information necessary for overall management of the specialty. Section A explains how everyone will use the plan. Section B identifies career field progression information, duties and responsibilities, training strategies, and a common career field path. Section C associates each level with specialty qualifications (knowledge, education, training, and other). Section D indicates resource constraints (some examples are funds, manpower, equipment, and facilities). Section E explains documentation at each level of training.

2.2. Part II provides a comprehensive look at training requirements and standards, as well as sources to obtain that training. Section A identifies the Specialty Training Standard (STS); includes duties, tasks, and technical references to support Initial Qualification Training (IQT); and lists Air Education and Training Command (AETC) training. Section B contains the course objective list and training standards supervisors will use to determine if officers have satisfied training requirements. Section C identifies available support materials. An example is a Qualification Training Package (QTP), which may be developed to support upgrade or proficiency training; these packages are available at the e-Publishing website, www.e- publishing.af.mil. Section C, Paragraph 8 identifies a training course index supervisors can use to determine resources available to support training: included are both mandatory and optional courses.

3. Using guidance provided, the CFETP will ensure individuals in this specialty receive effective and efficient training at appropriate points in their career. This plan enables the training of today’s force for tomorrow’s operational demands. At the unit level, supervisors and trainers use Part II to validate initial training competencies and to conduct training commensurate with the overall goals of this plan. Additionally, the following individuals must comply with but are not limited to the duties and responsibilities indicated:

3.1. Individual: Individuals will complete skill set requirements IAW Part II of the CFETP. Upon successful completion of IQT, individuals will be awarded 13D3.

Attendees are chartered with doing the “leg” work of CFETP changes. STRT minutes and action items are then sent to those AFS personnel who could not attend for their review. STRT attendees are chartered to take the minutes and action items back to their respective MAJCOMs and review to determine additional changes and resource implications. They are required to report their findings back to AFCFM prior to the U&TW. Findings are then reviewed at the U&TW for final vote by invite only attendees, resulting in final change recommendations to the CFETP (to be coordinated through the MAJCOMs to AF/A3).

Specialty Training Standard (STS). An Air Force publication that describes an Air Force Specialty in terms of tasks and knowledge which an individual in that specialty may be expected to perform or to understand on the job. Further, it identifies the training necessary to achieve a certain skill level within an officer and enlisted AFS. It serves as a contract between AETC and the functional user, showing which of the overall initial training requirements for an AFSC are taught in formal schools and correspondence courses, and those that fall in the domain of the operational unit.

A preparatory forum led by the AFCFM and AETC/ training pipeline manager (TPM), attended by MAJCOM Functional Managers (who are the focal point for career field education and training within each MAJCOM), Subject Matter Experts (SMEs), and any AETC training development personnel that establish AFS training requirements.

Section A-GENERAL INFORMATION 1. Purpose. This CFETP provides the information necessary for AFCFM, MFM, commanders, TPM, AETC training manager (TM), instructional designer (ID), supervisors and trainers to plan, develop, manage, resource, and conduct an effective and efficient career field training program. This CFETP has several purposes, some are:

1.1. Serves as a management tool to plan, manage, conduct, and evaluate a career field training program. Also, it is used to help commanders and supervisors identify training at the appropriate point in an individual’s career.

1.2. Identifies task and knowledge training requirements for each skill level in the specialty and recommends education/training throughout each phase of an individual's career.

1.3. Lists training courses available in the specialty, identifies sources of training, and the training delivery method.

1.4. Identifies major resource constraints, which impact implementation of the desired career field training process.

2. Use. The plan will be used by MFMs, commanders and supervisors at all levels to ensure comprehensive and cohesive training programs are available for each individual in the specialty.

2.1. AETC training personnel will develop/revise formal resident, nonresident, field and exportable training based upon requirements established by the users and documented in Part II of the CFETP. They will also work with the AFCFM to develop acquisition strategies for obtaining resources needed to provide the identified training.

2.2. MFMs will ensure their training programs complement the CFETP mandatory initial, upgrade, and proficiency requirements. On the job training, resident training, contract training, or exportable courses may satisfy identified requirements. MAJCOM-developed training to support this AFS must be identified for inclusion in this plan.

2.3. Each individual will complete the mandatory training requirements specified in this plan. The lists of courses in Part II will be used as a reference to support training.

9

2.4. Qualification Training Packages (QTPs) are developed and maintained by MFMs and/or units in coordination with AETC. Unit-developed QTPs will be provided to their MAJCOM for approval and, upon approval by the AFCFM, will be included in the CFETP course index (Part II, Section C).

3. Coordination and Approval. The CFETP is approved and maintained by the AFCFM IAW AFI 36-2201. Forward recommended changes to AETC/BA with follow-on coordination to the AFCFM, HQ USAF/A3TS. MAJCOM requests for additional training must either be accompanied by funding or must be satisfied within existing resources. The AFCFM is the approval authority. MAJCOM representatives and AETC training personnel will identify and coordinate on the career field training requirements. The AETC training manager for this specialty is required to initiate an annual review of this document IAW AETCI 36-2641, Technical and Basic Military Training Development with AETC and MFMs to ensure currency and accuracy. Using the list of courses in Part II will eliminate duplicate training.

4. Waiver Authority for Mandatory Requirements. IAW AFI 36-2201, the CRO CFM is the waiver approval authority for mandatory training, experience, and education listed in the official specialty description referenced in Air Force Enlisted Classification Directory. Waiver requests must be approved by the CRO FAM prior to review by the AF CRO CFM. See AFI 36-2101, Classifying Military Personnel (Officer and Enlisted), Table 3.3., for specific procedures of processing requests. Waiving any portion of an established standard requires an in-depth consideration on how it will affect the AF mission, the specialty, and the individual:

4.1. The CRO CFM is responsible for maintaining the integrity of the specialty. When evaluating waiver requests the CRO CFM must remember that established mandatory requirements were justified and validated using MAJCOM inputs. Any waiver request should be compared against predetermined standards to ensure the integrity of the specialty is maintained. A review should also consider the trainee's task knowledge and performance, capability in relation to mission requirements, ability to learn and transfer this knowledge to performance to meet mission needs and future needs within the specialty equal to peers.

Section B – CAREER FIELD INFORMATION AND PROGRESSION 5. Specialty Description. Combat Rescue Officer (13DX) is a Battlefield Airmen career field that conducts unique surface operations integral to the application of air and space power.

12. Resource Constraints: 12.1. Entry Level Training: 12.1.1. CRO Indoctrination Course is constrained due to inadequate facilities to include a dedicated aquatics facility to support training requirements.

12.1.2. There is no Course Resource Estimate for S-V94-C.

12.2. Qualified Level Training: 12.2.1. No syllabus exists to develop GFCs and MCs at this time. The Formal Training Unit (FTU) and Weapons Instructor Course will be building these syllabi.

12.2.2. Lack of CRO manpower at 68 RQS (FTU) inhibits the ability to conduct training programmed to meet training requirements post MQT.

18

12.3. Staff Level Training: No constraint exists.

Section E – DOCUMENTATION 13. Training records. An AF Form 623, Individual Training Record will be maintained for all CRO personnel in the grades of O-1 thru O-4. Maintenance of training folders for officers in the rank of O-5 and above is optional unless the CRO is assigned to a tactical unit.

14. Records Documentation. An individual training and evaluation folder will be opened at the officer’s first duty station and will be transferred with the CRO upon each permanent change of assignment. Unless on Temporary Duty, the Tab 5, Evaluation Record will be located in the Standards and Evaluations (Stan/Eval) section for security of evaluation documents. Maintenance responsibility for the folder is shared by Stan/Eval and training sections per direction in paragraph 15.

15. Individual Training and Evaluation Folder. The unit training office will build and maintain the officer’s folder upon arrival at his first duty station. Use of a 1.5 inch 3-ring binder is the approved method of managing the individual training and evaluation documentation. Place an 8x12 inch paper placard into the front cover of the binder which contains the title “INDIVIDUAL TRAINING and EVALUATION FOLDER” with the officer’s full name and rank on a separate line, AFSC and duty title on the next line, and unit of assignment on the last line. The bottom of the placard should contain the following privacy act statement: "This document may contain information which must be protected IAW AFI 33-332, Privacy Act Program and DoD Directive 5400.11, DoD Privacy Program, as amended applies, and it is For Official Use Only (FOUO)." All text on the binder cover will be formatted in Times New Roman, 14 font, bold print. Divide the individual training and evaluation folder into eight tabs:

15.1. Tab 1 – CFETP. Place a copy of the current version.

15.2. Tab 2 – AF Form 623a on the job training (OJT) continuation sheet. Document IAW 36-2201, Vol. 3. All 623a entries should provide supporting documentation for any subsequent evaluation annotated on AF Form 803.

15.3. Tab 3 – Mission Ready Training Forms. 15.3.1. Tab 3.1 – AF Form 1098, Special Task Certification Recurring Training. This form is used to record recurring training if not recorded in unit training management products.

15.3.2. Tab 3.2 – Command Job Qualification Standard (JQS). Maintain a record of required Air Force ancillary training either in this tab or in a central location if not recorded in unit training management products.

15.3.3. Tab 3.3 – ARMS product. AFORMS will be used to track training. Retain all management products in this tab or a central location. The product must be returned to this tab if the individual deploys with the training record or makes a PCS move.

15.4. Tab 4 – Individual Dive Record. US Navy Dive Reporting System (DRS) software may be used to generate dive reports. Utilize website http://www.safetycenter.navy.mil/afloat/diving/drs/ to locate software. If software is not available use AFSOC Form 10, Aug 95, located at website, https://www.afsoc.af.mil/milonly/library1/forms/AFSOC10.xfdlDD to record and maintain a historical record of individual dive training.

19

15.5. Tab 5 – Evaluation Record. Evaluation records are retained in this tab IAW AFI 10-3502, Vol. 2, and maintained by the Stan/Eval section.

15.5.1. Tab 5.1 – Basic Qualifications and Advanced Skills Documentation. Maintain a copy of current special orders and/or commander’s certification letters placing individual on or removing from specialty qualifications.

15.6. Tab 6 – AF Form 522, USAF Ground Weapons Training Data. The form(s) may be maintained in this tab or a central location but must be returned to this tab if the individual deploys with the training record or makes a PCS move. 522s are maintained by the training section.

15.7. Tab 7 – Formal School Certificates. Place all graduation certificates from formal schools (or copies) in this tab.

Upgrade syllabi translation. This Specialty Training Standard defines the scope of the qualification and upgrade syllabi for Team Commander, Ground Force Commander and Mission Commander. Required upgrade tasks and standards shall be derived from Part II, Section A of this CFETP.

Capstone employment events. The employment knowledge and skills identified in the Specialty Training Standard, summary above shall comprise the required employment evaluation events for Combat Rescue Officer upgrade.

NOTE: The events listed need not be exclusive from one another. As an example, a mass casualty recovery operation could include complexity derived from infiltration/exfiltration constraints, technical rescue requirements, or environmental conditions (such as urban terrain or maritime). The same operation will necessarily include and highlight terminal area skills and knowledge. However, in the case of each category, the evaluation itself may not capture all subordinate skill requirements previously demonstrated. Furthermore, it is the responsibility of the units conducting upgrade to determine the specific areas for mastery during the evaluation. As an example, leadership of technical rescue operations could include a variety of special skills highlighted in Section 5 (Rescue and Recovery Operations), ranging from technical extrication to high angle recovery.

Section B – Training Course Index This section of the CFETP identifies training courses available for the specialty and shows how the courses are used by each MAJCOM in their career field training programs. Refer to Education and Training Course Announcements, www.etca.randolph.af.mil, for information on AETC formal courses.
